## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

    "name": "swap_operator",

## Why swap_operator is rated Medium

This tool modifies project state by changing/replacing an operator, which is a reversible write operation. It affects the visual system configuration but does not delete data irreversibly (Destructive), execute arbitrary code (Execute), move money (Financial), or merely read data (Read).

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'swap_operator' and description 'Change an operator' indicate modification of existing operators in a TouchDesigner project without permanent deletion."

## Use case

AI agents use swap_operator to create or update resources in Aos, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Aos environment.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Aos:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "swap_operator": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "swap_operator_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
